Button Edit Variables does not work

Hi Experts,

I have created an Lumira Document based on a BICS connection.
When I save my document into the BI Platform it does not Refresh.

So I have to open it in Lumira Desktop to change my BW Variables but when I edit the data source and click in the button "Edit Variables" nothing happens.

Do you have any idea how to solve it?

Im using Lumira Desktop 1.27 and Lumira for BI Platform 1.27 on my BI Platform Server.

Thanks

On Lumira Desktop, I select the refresh icon for the BEx Query Lumira document:

It brings up the variables screen, but I don't have any changes and press enter

Then it refreshes

Why do you need to edit variables?  Why not just press enter?

Because the user need to change the date parameter.

To see another range of data.

Could you try this:

Open the Lumira Document from Lumira Desktop

Click Refresh

Variable Screen appears

Enter desired parameters to pass to Lumira (my example is FI-GL)

Click OK

I don't see why / how your screen is appearing but reading your comments I think the above workflow should work for you...

Did you create your Variable (ZLEVEL) in your bex query right?


So every time that you click refresh in your Lumira Document does the Variable Screen appears?


Because in our environment we are using the same workflow, and when we click refresh in our Lumira Document the Variable Screen does not appear.


And when we go to "Edit data source" and click in "Edit Variables" the Variable Screen does not appear neither. We are connecting to BW through BICS connection.


What is the version of your Lumira Desktop?

Are you connecting to BW directly or through BICS connection?


Do you publish your Lumira Documents in a BI Platform or Lumira Server? Which version are those?


Thanks in advance.

Hi - yes, ZLEVEL is a variable in my BEx query, so everytime I refresh it does appear

Could you share a screen shot (use the camera icon) of your BEx query?

I'm using Lumira 1.27 using the new Download BW extension connecting to BW

I save the Lumira document to the BI Platform - on BI4.1 SP6

Ok,

When we connect directly to BW without using BICS it work.

Tammy when do you publish it to BI Platform does it support Refresh inside the BI Platform?

Are you using Lumira for BI Platform or LIMA (Lumira Add-on)?

Thanks

I'm using Lumira for BI Platform

Refresh is supported from Lumira Desktop (i.e. you are opening the .lums file from the BI Platform with Lumira Desktop)

Refresh is not supported (at least for me) if you simply open the Lumira Document within the BI Platform without Lumira Desktop

Tammy,

Do you know when the Refresh within the BI Platform will be supported?

Because when we publish it to BI Platform the document loose the communication with BW and is static.

Hi - I don't work for SAP, I can only refer you to their published roadmap on Service Marketplace https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000212382013E.pdf

Looks like it is included in planned innovations (within 12-18 months, subject to change) "Change of prompt values for server-side data refresh * "

Another option, in the mean time, is to look at Design Studio as it is an online refresh within the BI Platform
